Question Is it ok the breed 2 dapples from different litters no relationship?
advise.
Answer Never breed two dapples! Double dapples are born 80 - 90% with a deformity, blindness, deaf or a combination of the above. No reputable breeder ever breeds two dapples. Please do not - it causes so many defects. It does not matter that they are from different litters - it is their genes that count. Thanks for checking before doing it!
